Corner Shop - Los Angeles, California

There's always flies on the bread, mold on the bagels, and I saw jam 60% off that expired in February of last year...not sure how they stay open with such minimal products worth buying...
However, staff is always friendly!

This place has some kind of broken AC or refrigeration unit on their roof that squeaks loudly 24/7 and can be heard in all the adjacent apartments. I've complained about it to the staff before and they do not care. The atmosphere inside is dark, dirty, and musty.

I used to come here multiple times per week, and loved the eclectic selection of snacks, drinks, and household ingredients but now... it's so sad. This place has gone downhill so sharply in the last year and seems like it's on its last legs. There is barely any inventory of beer, wine, or food. Staff are often rude or uninterested in helping or answering questions. It seems like since the new management took over they've completely abandoned all effort to keep this place running or their customers happy.

This used to be one of my favorite stops for wine. Unfortunately the new management doesn’t seem to care about training their staff.

Went in today and asked for a recommendation for a chilled white wine, the shop keep responded by saying “sorry I don’t drink” when I asked him if he could at least tell me the prices of the pre-chilled white wines he said he “didn’t know which ones were white”

Im not faulting the employee at all for being untrained, but if you are going to continue to stock a large range of wines please give your employees some training!

Or at least put stickers with prices on things so I don’t have to ask…

If possible, I would give this business no stars. As a woman of color, it’s extremely uncomfortable to walk into this store (not once BUT twice) and be treated differently than the customers that are white.
Both times I’ve been in this store, the man behind the counter (white/curly hair) has been rude to me and I was nothing but friendly and a nice customer to him and the other customers in the store. And those two times that I came into the store, there were white customers before me and he treated them with the utmost respect and kindness. When I get to the counter, he got on his phone, didn’t even acknowledge me or offer me a bag. The complete opposite he treated the white customers before me.

We are in 2022. People of color live in Los Angeles. Get used to it.

I am not not sure if it’s because I’m black and my friend is Hispanic. But my friend and i was discussing how much we wanna drink how much we can afford and some white guy with curly hair said i don’t wanna hear you complain about prices! Are you ridiculous i wasn’t complaining i was just talking to my partner on how much i can drink and what we can afford I’m not complaining just simply talking to my partner. So rude customer service. Like who says that “i don’t wanna hear you complain about prices” when I’m not. The prices are high I’m figuring it out why do i need someone who works there say that.

They say that if a library can't be large, it must therefore be a fine one. This place is like a fine library of beer, wines, and everything the home sommelier needs. Well-curated selections always, and such knowledgeable staff. I always find myself learning something new whenever I pop in.

After the recent change in ownership I have noticed an immediate decline in quality for the beer selection. This used to be the best beer shop within 20 miles. A sad day for DTLA.
